It's a review of your UC claim to make sure everything is correct. This has been going on for quite sometime and they are checking random people to make sure their claim is correct.They will ask you questions about your circumstances, such as who you live with and any savings you may have. They may ask you to send bank statements as part of the review, as well as something with your name and addresss on and some other form of ID.I would appreciate it if members wouldn't tag me please. I have all notifcations turned off and wouldn't want a member thinking i'm being rude by not replying.If i see a question that i know the answer to i will try my best to help.

Ah ok, thanks poppy so I'm not alone, I've just read that it's due to COVID and checking people again as checks (like ID etc) weren't done, however I originally claimed a year before I was awarded lcrwa as it took so long with hospitals papers doctors etc, so I was before the pandemic and they have all ID's and details etc.. so I'm a little 🤔

It's not just those that claimed during covid they are checking. It's other claims too.

Lots of people are having compliance checks (myself included) currently, the DWP have a target of 2 million and with just over 5 million claiming UC, that's quite a high percentage.
However compliance check and enhanced review are different things, I don't know anything about the latter but from a quick google search, they are similar processes. -
Hello @Kimmy87 thanks for your reply, can I ask how long it took over the phone and what they asked and asked for? So I can try and get myself prepared,mentally too! Where they nice? 🙏🙏

Mine was a compliance check so not exactly the same as yours, I had already submitted ID and 4 months of bank statements which they had requested, then they booked a phone appointment.
I was asked about some of my outgoings and if I had any other savings or things like premium bonds.
It took about 15/20 minutes.
Yes, the lady I spoke to was nice.
